Newborn Care

Taught by Jen Patashnick, CPD of Wonderful Welcome

"The Newborn Care was our first class, and both me and hubby were astonished with tons of valid information. It is a lot to process, but Jen makes it fun, comprehensive and clear. Especially if you’re a 1st time parent or never had contact with a baby before (or like me had a looong time ago with my siblings) I strongly recommend the class. Having the knowledge is very helpful in setting realistic expectations and it worked wonderfully for us." - Markelli L.

Learn what to expect with a newborn! Using the touchstones of ABC - Appearance, Behavior, and Care - we cover all the basics, along with oodles of tips and tricks for ensuring a successful "fourth trimester.”

This is a fast-paced class, taught with humor, that touches on many topics that could themselves be entire classes. It is based on years of postpartum experience with new families and designed to provide reassurance and guidance for those families who may not have much experience with babies.

NOTE: This workshop is best for expectant families to attend in the third trimester. Grandparents can benefit from this workshop as well, since current thinking based on evidence-based practice is presented.

Upcoming classes: Sundays 10/13, 11/17, and 12/15 from 2-4:30pm at Illuminated Birth & Company in Acton
